Frye returns to St. Marys

January 16, 2014

ST. MARYS — Doug Frye will try to rebuild the St. Marys football program that he carefully tended for 11 seasons, the one he watched fall into disrepair in the five seasons since he left.

Frye was officially named head coach of the Roughriders at a St. Marys Board of Education meeting Wednesday night.

The board approved by a 4-1 vote the hiring of Frye as the virtual learning academy administrator. Frye received a three-year teaching contract through the 2016-2017 school year. Bob Valentine was the dissenting vote. Frye said he’s made a commitment to coach for three years through the 2016 season and will evaluate coaching longer than that when that contract comes up.
